Tre nudi Sculpture - Limited Edition of 9

Gastone Cecconello is a prominent Italian artist whose career spans over sixty years, marked by continuous experimentation and a unique expressive language. Born in 1942 into a humble family in Piedmont, Cecconello overcame personal and physical challenges to establish himself as a respected figure in the contemporary art scene. His instantly recognizable style is characterized by the use of polymaterial media — iron, wood, stone, sand, glue, and powders — combined with vibrant colors and stylized forms that represent the essence of contemporary man: a “parody of man” reduced to stylized figures often enclosed in metaphysical boxes, a metaphor for the human and social condition. Throughout his long career, he built relationships with important artists such as Romano Conversano and Guido Mosca, and received prestigious awards including the Renzo Roncarlo Memorial Prize and the Giangiacomo Spadari National Prize, awarded for a work that addressed the theme “Theater – cinema… seductive muses for painting, sister art.” His works have been exhibited in major international venues, from Paris to the French Riviera, and in solo shows curated by critics like Angelo Gilardino, who highlighted his ability to transform even the most banal objects into symbols rich with meaning. In recent years, Cecconello has focused on encasing real objects in boxes, creating metaphysical compositions while continuing painting, now favoring large luminous color fields populated by his unique stylized figures. Purchasing a Gastone Cecconello artwork means investing in a piece that is not just decoration but an artistic testimony of recognized value, able to enrich any private or public collection. His exploration of material, form, and concept offers a profound dialogue with the viewer, making each piece a secure investment also economically, considering his importance in the contemporary Italian art context.
